The Guinea football team was dissolved on Tuesday by the Minister of Sports after failing to qualify for either the 2010 World Cup finals nor the African Nations Cup.

According to a reliable source contacted by AFP in Dakar the minister Fodeba Isto Keira announced “The Guinea national side has been dissolved for insufficient results and ill-discipline.”

The decision by Keira, who has been in the post since July, comes two days after Guinea – who reached the quarter-finals of the last three African Nations Cup finals – lost 3-0 to the Ivory Coast leaving them bottom of their group with just three points.

Keira also announced that coaches Mamadi Souare, Fode Laye Camara and Mandjou Diallo had also been sacked after just four months in the posts when they replaced veteran French handler Robert Nouzzaret, who had been sacked by the president of the ruling junta of the country, Captaine Moussa Dadis Camara.
